In some cases unhooking the battery for a few minutes may reset the check engine light. However, if the problem still exists the light will come back on. Also be aware that the computer is making constant adjustments to keep your car running at it's best. When you disconnect the battery the computer also resets so your vehicle may run poorly for a few minutes while the computer optimizes all the settings again.
